New Hosting Management System is Live

brian — Thu, 16 May 2013 17:21:16 +0000

Our hosting accounts are being migrated to a new billing and management system. For existing customers, this will only mean that your invoices will look different and have a different link to submit your payments. There may be a need to go through the password reset function if you have not logged in to your cPanel account in a while.

For new customers, the main advantage is much quicker, more automated ordering, as well as additional services such as domain registration and management. We also will be offering SSL certificates in the near future.

Please visit our new web hosting customer site to get started.

PetSitConnect.com API

brian — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 20:11:00 +0000

Many users of PetSitConnect.com have wanted to integrate functions of the software with their own websites so they can provide a good customer experience without having to redirect from their site.

So, after a lot of work over the last few weeks, the API is now available with limited functionality. Users can now perform the following functions using a simple POST/RESPONSE interface. All data is sent as post variables, with the build of the information formatted as a JSON encoded string. This allows anyone proficient with PHP, ASP.net, or other server technology to build interfaces quickly and easily.

The following functions are available now:

Get list of clients with filters on any field
Get list of sitters with filters on any field
Add a client record
Add a sitter record

In the following weeks, additional functions will be available, including:

Get invoice information
Post a payment or adjustment to an invoice
Get a list of scheduled visits for a period of time
Mark a visit as completed or canceled
Add new client prospects
Send request for service

Documentation will be out soon and we’ll post that when it’s available. Once this is complete, we’ll use the API ourselves to build a mobile site and mobile apps for iPhone and Android.

Direct Teach Time – Online Discrete Trial Software

brian — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 22:42:39 +0000

The discrete trial has been a well documented as an effective tool to evaluate and teach language and basic skills to children with autism. However, it is oftern time consuming for the teacher because the preperation is tedious and the procedure itself requires a tremendous amount of concentration on the teacher’s part if done properly. Keeping up with the proper correction procedure, maintaining accurate data, and interacting with the student properly all require the full attention of the teacher.
Direct Teach Time takes the discrete trial procedure and automates it with web-based software so the record keeping and correction procedure is done for the teacher. It has been built with direct input from teachers using the software in the classroom, and even though much work is yet to be done, the system has already shown a great improvement in student learning over the old way of doing things.
We will be working over the next few months to build a better method to map the software to the assessment tool of your choice, as well as improve the reporting features as more input is gathered.
Take a look at the current features and prices and take a moment to sign up for the Direct Teach Time News so you’ll have the latest information about this exciting new product of ABK Technologies.

Only then can the designers and developers really build a website that will actually bring the customers to you.
